My honey had my kudu mounted for my Xmas gift and it's hanging in its final resting place

Very nice!

Nice Kudu. That is the animal that made my first African adventure complete.

Kinda reminds me of that old song: "I want a Tragelaphus for Christmas!"

Nice one! Very few shoulder mounts are more impressive than a greater kudu, but even more important is the way they take you back to Africa.

Very nice.

My very nice kudu (58") was planned as a Euro- mount,.. until my taxidermist stateside told me the skull had been "over-boiled" in Africa and the skull was now soft. Of course, by then I had no cape for any other kind of mount. A call to my PH assured me the skull had not been "over-boiled."

Well, ok; We had to come up with something else imaginative for those great spirals.

Very nice is right! I never get tired of looking at those beautiful kudu.


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Very nice! I couldn't think of a nicer gift! My crate of skulls, horns, the and hides should be sitting at the tannery as I type this. My taxidermist should be retrieving the horns and skulls soon.

Nice Kudu and great present.

Maybe I should take to the missus about paying my taxidermy bill, but do I really want her to know what it costs? wink
